Shah Rukh Khan Reveals Why He Would Never Work with Akshay Kumar
Indian cinema has seen numerous collaborations between veteran actors, but one notable pair Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar have a unique dynamic. Although active in the industry since the early 1990s, their on-screen collaborations have been rare.

Background of Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar
Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar have been prominent figures in the Indian film industry since the early 1990s. Despite their long careers, they have not worked together in numerous films.

A rare photograph from the era has brought back nostalgic memories for longtime fans.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Reasons for Not Collaborating
When asked about the reason for not collaborating with Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan gave a practical answer. In a candid interview, he shared his timing issues which prevent their on-screen chemistry.
“I don’t wake up as early as him,” Shah Rukh said. He elaborated further:
“I go to sleep when Akshay is waking up. His day starts early. By the time I start working, he is packing up and going home. So he can put in more hours of work. I’m a nocturnal person. Not many people are fond of shooting at night like me.”
Adding to the practical aspect, Shah Rukh also mentioned:
“It will be fun to act with Akshay. Dono set pe hi nahin milenge. Woh jaa raha hoga aur main aa raha hounga. We will never meet on the set. He’ll be leaving the set and I’ll be coming in. I would like to work like Akshay and with him but our timings won’t match.”
Impact on the Industry
The relationship between these two actors has had a significant impact on the Indian film industry. Fans and critics have speculated about future collaborations, but the practical issues described by Shah Rukh suggest that such an eventuality remains unlikely.
Conclusion
While Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar may never share a set, their careers continue to influence the Indian film industry in their own unique ways. Their responses offer a glimpse into the realities of the industry and the challenges faced by superstar actors in balancing their busy schedules.
